What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”Matthew 13:24,25.

This
is a debate about our understanding of human dignity, what it means to
be a member of the human family, even though tiny, powerless and
unwanted. – Henry Hyde

[Where am I? This is July…not January. What are all these bright
lights? What’s that smell? I don’t understand. I was inside my mother,
sucking my thumb, all nice and safe and warm. The next thing I know, I
feel this pressure on either side of my head, and I was ripped out of my
mother.

Why is this happening to me? I have a whole life ahead of me.

I deserve a Mother and a Father. I will never have those. Grandparents, either. Heck, I won’t even get to know my cousins.

I want to know what milk tastes like. I want to hold a Cheerio in my
hand and put it in my mouth. I want to know what it’s like to get my
first tooth…to take my first step….to hear music for the first time. I
want to hold a puppy. I want to have a first day in school. I want to
have a best friend. I want to ride a bike. I want to have a best friend
and go out to play with them. I want to know what Christmas is all
about. I want to eat a turkey leg at Thanksgiving…and to see a fireworks
display on the 4th of July. I want to wear costumes on Halloween. I
want to go to ballgames with my Father.

I want to watch cartoons. I want to love and be loved.

I want to fall in love. I want to experience my first kiss. I want
to have my parents drop me and my date off at the movie and then pick us
up. I want to play sports in school…or be an artist…or be a
musician…or, just be a kid.

I want to go to a pep rally. I want to dance at a prom. I want to get a report card. Heck, I want to taste a school lunch.

I want to graduate and go to college. I want to start work…and have a family.

I want to live!

Wait! What are you doing with those scissors! Don’t…]

I was born three days before my mother’s 40th birthday. To say I was a
surprise is an understatement. As I recently wrote, I truly believe that
they were going to name me “Oops”. That being said, I am grateful that
God convicted them, regarding the sanctity of the life that my mother
was carrying within her.

The issue of why "personhood" begins has always been a contentious one, as far as the subject of abortion is concerned.

Legally, America's legal System, time and time again, have charged those
criminals who have stopped the beating hearts of both a mother and
unborn baby with the crime of murder, with the leagal charge or First
and Second Degree Homicide, respectively.

Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton ran afoul of
both the pro-life and pro-choice sides of the abortion debate Sunday
when she said constitutional rights do not apply to an “unborn person”
or “child.”

“The unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights,” Mrs.
Clinton said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Now that doesn’t mean that we
don’t do everything we possibly can in the vast majority of instances
to, you know, help a mother who is carrying a child and wants to make
sure that child will be healthy, to have appropriate medical support.”

Mrs. Clinton also said “there is room for reasonable kinds of restrictions” on abortion during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Diana Arellano, manager of community engagement for Planned
Parenthood Illinois Action, said Sunday that Mrs. Clinton’s comments
undermined the cause for abortion rights.

The comment “further stigmatizes #abortion,” Ms. Arellano said
in a tweet. “She calls a fetus an ‘unborn child’ & calls for later
term restrictions.”

Describing the fetus as a “person” or “child” has long been
anathema to the pro-choice movement, which argues the terms misleadingly
imply a sense of humanity.

In addition, the specific term “person” is a legal concept that
includes rights and statuses that the law protects, including protection
of a person’s life under the laws against homicide. Pro-choice
intellectuals have long said that even if an unborn child is a “life,”
it is not yet a “person.”

Guidelines issued by the International Planned Parenthood
Federation discourage pro-choice advocates from using terms such as
“abort a child,” instead recommending “more accurate/appropriate”
alternatives such as “end a pregnancy” or “have an abortion.”

“‘Abort a child’ is medically inaccurate, as the fetus is not
yet a child,” the guide reads. “‘Terminate’ a pregnancy is commonly
used, however some people prefer to avoid this as terminate may have
negative connotations (e.g., ‘terminator or assassinate’) for some
people.”

“‘Abort a child’ is medically inaccurate, as the fetus is not
yet a child,” the guide reads. “‘Terminate’ a pregnancy is commonly
used, however some people prefer to avoid this as terminate may have
negative connotations (e.g., ‘terminator or assassinate’) for some
people.”

The guidebook also advises against the terms “baby,” “dead
fetus,” “unborn baby” or “unborn child” when discussing what it is
that’s being aborted. Instead, it recommends the terms “embryo,” “fetus”
and “the pregnancy.”

“The alternatives are medically accurate terms, as the embryo or fetus is not a baby,” it explains.

The exchange with NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday came after Mrs.
Clinton blasted Republican front-runner Donald Trump last week for
saying that women should face “some form of punishment” for having
abortions if they were illegal. He later reversed his statement,
multiple times, after an outcry from both pro-life and pro-choice
groups.

Conservatives also caught Mrs. Clinton’s words and drew
implications. Commentary Editor John Podhoretz said the gaffe is
comparable to those of Mr. Trump.

“This is Trump-level gaffery,” Mr. Podhoretz said in a tweet.
“If you acknowledge personhood, then the unborn has every Constitutional
right.”

Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro also said that Mrs.
Clinton’s statement “demonstrates just how incoherent and evil the
left’s abortion position is.”

As everyone knows, who was actually paying attention, Trump responded to
a "What if" scenario, in which abortion was illegal. Just like Liberals
lied about Michael Brown and the "Hands up. Don't Shoot" garbage, they
attempted to lie about the Trump situation, as well.

But, this post is not about Donald J. Trump.

In a speech in April of 2015 at a Women’s Summit, Democratic
Presidential Hopeful, Hillary Rodham Clinton, told Christian Americans.
that were going to have to change our beliefs, in regards to abortion. Breitbart.com reported at the time, that

“Far too many women are denied access to reproductive health
care and safe childbirth. All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much
if they’re not enforced,” Hillary Clinton said at the Women in the
World Summit on Thursday night. “Rights have to exist in practice, not
just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political
will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural
biases have to be changed.”

Clinton made it emphatically clear she’s not just talking about,
say, the horrific abuse of women by Islamist extremists: “As I have
said, and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of
women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great
unfinished business of the 21st century, and not just for women but for
everyone… and not just in far away countries but right here in the
United States.” She pointed at the very ground she was standing upon, to
emphasize the point.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that a Far Left Radical Follower of Saul
Alinsky, like Hillary Rodham Clinton, should feel this way.

Hillary, like Obama, sincerely believes that she is the smartest person in any room that she happens to walk into.

There is no room in her ego-filled heart and mind, for a Supreme Being.
Hillary, herself, believes that she is the sole arbiter of Right and
Wrong in her life.

Have you ever tried to have a discussion with an ardent pro-abortion
supporter, either on Facebook or face-to-face? You won’t hear these
“Champions of Tolerance” call those innocent lives, babies, human
beings, a life, a soul, a gift from God, or anything remotely resembling
something that they should feel remorse about killing.

Pro-Abortionists are opposed to the taking of sonograms of the woman’s
womb, before she has an abortion. They’re afraid that the “seed-carrier”
will realize that IS a HUMAN BEING inside her, and will decide not to
kill that baby.

Heck, I have even, on a Facebook Political Page, run into one, so out of
touch with reality, that they, to this very moment, insist that a baby
is not a "person", until the moment of birth.

They insist that, until then, it is just a fetus.

Of course, I informed them that "fetus" is Latin for BABY.

But, that did not seem to matter to them.

If those in favor of abortion would acknowledge the personhood of a
human being inside their mother's womb, they would also have to come to
grips with a very harsh reality.

From the scientific perspective, Dr. Carlo Bellieni, in his book “Dawn of the I: Pain, Memory, Desire, Dream of the Fetus,” writes:

As soon as it is born, the child shows in a scientifically
demonstrable way that it recognizes its mother’s voice and distinguishes
it from that of a stranger. Where has he learned that voice other than
in the maternal womb?

There are also direct proofs. For example, we register how the
movements and cardiac frequency of the fetus vary if we transmit
unexpected sounds through the uterine wall. And we see that at first the
fetus is startled, then it gets used to it, just like we do when we
hear something that does not interest us.

In fact, the scientific evidence is immense. We cannot
understand how it can be thought that it becomes a person at a certain
point, perhaps when coming out of the uterus.

From the physical point of view, at the birth very little really
changes: Air enters the lungs, the arrival of blood from the placenta
is interrupted, the type of circulation of blood in the heart changes,
and not much more.

As I often say, only blind faith in magic arts or some strange
divinity can lead one to think that there is a “human” quality leap at a
given moment — certainly not science.

While this Presidential Election is not about Social Issues, this is an important gaffe by Hillary.

Why?

First, her Freudian Slip was showing. She called the being that a mother
is carrying in her womb an "unborn PERSON", possibly having their
Constitutional Rights violated by being murdered in their Mother's womb.

Second, the pure political entertainment value provided by that slip is priceless.

Hillary's "Moonwalk", in her attempt to limit the damage that her
Freudian Slip caused, reminded me of Michael Jackson in his prime.

The Joshua Tree - An original parable/allegory by this blogger.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God (Genesis 21:33). Here is old Abraham just planting a tree and living by his well. Why are we told this? It is symbolic of what is taking place in his heart and life. The tree immediately brings to mind Psalm 1, which says the man of God will be like a tree planted by rivers of living water, bringing forth its fruit in season. Here is a life that is fruitful, that is concerned about those immediately around and is pouring out blessing into their lives and hearts.

Testimony/Sermon of an Abortion Survivor

SUICIDE WATCH

I am sure most of you have known at some time in your life a person who wanted or attempted to end their life or succeeded in doing so. Personally, I have known a number of such people. I, myself had such an episode as an adolescent.

More and more I am reading and hearing about people young, old, male, female, gender and age don´t matter that add their lives to this problem of epidemic proportion in our society. Whatever the cause, we can all do something however small to save lives.

No need to have a psych. degree or to be licensed. An understanding heart, a listening ear is sometimes all that it takes to help weaker, more sensitive people overcome the hopelessness that drives fellow human beings to discard the gift of human life.

Please, take a few minutes to read below the few examples and testimonies about suicide. And please pass it on, if that´s all you feel inclined to do. Thank you.

HE INVITES SUICIDE JUMPERS FOR A CUP OF TEA

Don Ritchie moved to a house outside Sydney, Australia, for the clifftop view. But soon he was stopping suicides by inviting potential jumpers inside for a cup of tea.

Don Ritchie has been awarded a medal for bravery and an Order of Australia (the nation’s second highest honor) for averting hundreds of would-be suicides by approaching people and offering them a cup of tea. ‘I used to sell kitchen scales and bacon cutters,’ he says. Now, ‘I’m trying to sell people life.’
